Could Painful/swollen Lower Legs/feet, Red Patches Be Related To Arthritis?

I am suffering swollen lower legs and feet which are painful to touch. They are fine first thing in the morning but swell quickly when I stand up. There are also blotchy red patches on both legs . My Doctor is treating me for arthritis but I am not sure about this.

Hello,

Your doctor is treating you right. Thus the type of arthritis is called psoriatic arthritis and the treatment will be guided in a proper direction.

Rest assured, your doctor is taking up the right decision.
